Condition of female pastors in Sweden

Until recently becoming a pastor was seen as a man’s profession. More male pastors were in the profession as compared to female. But now the percentage of female pastors has increased. Sweden, a country known for its gender equality is no exception to this increase in female pastors. To find out the real situation on the ground, we spoke with Øyvind Tholvsen head of Interacts and Josefin Lennartsson, a female pastor in Örebro – Sweden. Female students studying to become pastors also shared some experiences they have come across on the road to becoming a pastor.
